Each bacteria is an individual living organism. So I'm guessing that (within this framework) the humans disappeared, but only ~50% (it would average out to 50% across the entire population) of their gut biome (or I guess any other living organism within them) disappeared.

And as such, in people who did not disappear, ~50% (on avg) of their gut biome also disappeared.

The math checks out...
